Having customs issues with the package coming to me across the border, I got a late start on the design and didn't get quite what I wanted. Hopefully I can win this contest but in the end, it will help a charity for Mr. Parent. Hopefully I can get some of my followers to vote for me at least once per day. I am entry NUMBER 13. There are some excellent entries so I'm going to try to win the popularity vote.

 

Thanks for reading and voting.

Set 5

 

 

Set 6

I selected Set 3 with Connor McDavid.

For some reason, blogger won't let me smallen the images for sets 4-6. My daughter gave me the code and has another one on the way. Still trying to figure out which set I'll select. I'm thinking I should go on Facebook and/or Kijiji and asking people to send the codes to me if they aren't going to use them. Or I may go dumpster diving. At least the garbage should be frozen so easier to step through.



 

My sister picked this up for me from a friend of hers. Actually, both of my sisters kind of keep their eyes open for any sports related items.

 

 

Now I'll have to find someone who can read this so I now a little more about it.

 

 

The only thing I can understand is this Mark Recchi ad from his Flyers stint.

 

 

 

 

This looks like a team roster sheet. It has position, number and I'm guessing players name. It's all Greek to me.

========================================= 

I did get an offer on the Panini Beach Boys box I won. The woman was getting it for her boyfriend as they were both Beach Boy fans. Glad to make someone happy.
======================================== 

And my mask has been sent in to the Bernie Parent mask design contest. I'll post more info as the voting process begins. Here's a few pics

 

Prepped and ready to begin
